ADANI Group's Mundra Port saw the largest ever container ship to dock at an Indian port last Sunday when the almost 400-metre-long MSC Anna came visiting.
This vessel is a metre longer than the earlier biggest one MSC Hamburg that docked at Mundra Port last July, reports The Times of India.
MSC Anna boasts an overall length of 399.98 metres (roughly the length of four football fields) and a staggering capacity of 19,200 TEU, which makes it the largest container ship by capacity to ever visit an Indian port.
Its arrival draft is 16.3 metres, which can be accommodated only at Adani Ports, Mundra, as no other port in India is capable of berthing a deep-draft vessel.
During its stay, the expected exchange is 12,500 TEU, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) said in a statement.
The statement said its container terminal CT-3 reached a significant milestone by becoming the first in India to manage 3 million TEU in a year.
The terminal also achieved a monthly handling record of over 300,000 TEU in November, the highest ever by any terminal in India.
